    30 before 30 – #17 Skinny Jeans

    I specifically wrote down that I only need to try on skinny jeans, I did not need to buy a pair to considered this one fulfilled.  And that I would give it a serious go as in try on different sizes until I found one that fit.   And the proof of success. This ended up being a bit more of an adventure than I intended as I dodged the noodles that were on the ground. Having tried a few pairs on, I’m still going to stick to my boot cut jeans. As much as the ability to easily tuck my jeans into my boots is tempting…I just did not…

    30 before 30- #15 Silence of the Lambs

    Source: Empire Online I promised myself when I started this project I would not stress out about it. I have a tendency to be a bit obsessive when I’m goal oriented…and I refused to let 30 before 30 become anything but an enjoyable challenge. That said, with August upon us and oh-my-word a little over 2 months to complete the project, I did a bit of editing to the list. That is to say, took a few items off that would take more than two months and added a few items. In the revised version I added seeing Silence of the Lambs. This particular edit has been brought to you…

    Lost and Found: A Fairy Tale

    Available on Kindle Another re-release from me! My second novel Lost and Found: A Fairy Tale with a newly designed cover by Annie J Designs. Lost and Found: A Fairy Tale is a follow up to Worlds Collide: A Fairy Tale, while many of the characters from the first book are present, it focuses more in on Jer’s daughter Katrina and a new character. Whereas the first book it is debated whether or not it is science fiction or fantasy, Lost and Found definitely falls into the fantasy category. I wanted to expand more on the ‘dunami world and the creatures that lived there. And expand on different cultures beyond the one of Karipol. To…

    30 before 30 – #14 Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

    When I was in college, a local Christian bookstore had an inventory of books that they couldn’t sell due to water damage. And they gave those books to my college. Fortunately for me, the day they were giving them away was at a chapel that like no one showed up to. I could barely carry the stack of books I brought home that day. And among them was a thin pamphlet containing Jonathan Edward’s ‘Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God’. I have heard this sermon referenced many times over the years, but this was the first time I had read it. It’s an exceptional treatise and I would…

    Monterey Bay Aquarium

    Ok. I was #alltheemotions this day. On our drive to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, I tried calling my Grandma to try to talk to her. I talked to my aunt to see if that would be more stressful to have me calling or if it would be ok, and my aunt said it would be ok to call. I couldn’t get ahold of Grandma, but another aunt was staying near Grandpa’s side and I got ahold of her and she asks me ‘do you want to talk to Grandpa?’ The last I had heard was that he probably wasn’t going to make it, I hardly knew how to process this…

    San Francisco- Musée Mécanique

     First the sea lions on Pier 39. I will never pass up an opportunity to see sea lions, or sea life.  The Musée Mécanique, I would not have known this museum/arcade was there if Laura hadn’t pointed it out. There were coin operated games that were hundred years old…and they still worked.

    San Francisco- Alcatraz

    After leaving the Golden Gate Bridge we made a slight miscalculation on our parking and ended up missing the boat for our Alcatraz tour. By three minutes. But it ended up not being a big deal, because we were able to get on the next boat 20 minutes later.
